I am delighted to report that 2008-2009 season has been a tremendous success. The USCTA has hosted the Ladies’ World Championship, there have been many new faces winning tournaments, the New England Team won the Whitney Cup and the sup- port of the members and their James D. Wharton (USCTA President) clubs has been exceptional. Everyone is to be congratu- lated for their contributions and achievements. Of course none of this would be possible without the dedicated work of the Club Representatives, the At Large Governors and the professionals. Each club has their own unique management situation, but at the end of the day the focus continues to be providing opportunities for members to learn and improve their game. The result is a healthy competitive and collegial experience that is always Ladies’ World Champion Charlotte Cornwallis. photo by Michael Do on display during the season. petitive on the international stage as we now have a very TOURNAMENTS active match schedule with the Bathurst, Clothier and Van There have been two noticeable themes through this past Alen Cup Team competitions. season and they have been change and youth.

alies in the system is encouraging players to enter results so that a fair assessment of the system is possible. Unfortunately each club has a somewhat different policy regarding entering scores. Ideally all scores, both singles and doubles should be entered and ultimately the results will sort themselves out.

In closing I would like to thank all of you as members of the USCTA who make this game and the Association such a success. Without your participation in club tourna- ments and national events the game would not grow. The volunteerism at the club and national level is extraordinary. Week in and week out club members set aside their time to provide competitive experience for all of us. If you have not had a chance to help in your respective clubs, please take the opportunity to do so, it is a rewarding experience and a chance to give back to this wonderful game.

These are the people who make the play for of the US based players. It is only by competing game flow from day to day. against these overseas players that the USCTA will be able to raise the level of play of our domestic pool. Respectfully submitted, James D. Wharton MEMBERSHIP President Through the hard work of our Membership Secretary, Dacre Stoker, the USCTA was able to not only sustain our membership, during these difficult economic times, but also increase our numbers. This has not been easy and the Membership Committee is to be commended for their ef- forts. The Association continues to work on improving communications so that it can provide more timely infor- mation regarding upcoming tournaments and results. As the USCTA transitions towards the new electronic medium there will be more opportunities for you to receive information.

FINANCES Arnold Spangler took over as Treasurer this past season and he has done a magnificent job keeping the Associations’ finances in order. We are in a sound position and continue to support the game in conjunction with the United States Court Tennis Preservation Foundation. I am also delighted to report that we were able to increase the professional prize money by 25% across the board.

Page 8 2008-2009 Annual Report History of the USCTA

The first reference to tennis in the Americas extant in the historical record is a decree against playing tennis on Sun- days, issued by the Governor of New Amsterdam, Peter Stuyvesant, on October 26, 1656. The centuries that fol- lowed were replete with further proof that some sort of version of the “game of kings” was being played in North America. In October 1876, exactly a year and a half after the newly invented game of lawn tennis came to these shores, Hollis Hunnewell and Nathaniel Thayer opened the first bona fide court tennis facility on Buckingham Street in Boston. Over the course of the next 120 years, 18 more courts were built; today there are nine active courts in the US, the oldest in Newport (1880) and the youngest in Washington, D.C. (1997). The United States Court Tennis Association, under the leadership of its first president William L. Van Alen, initially convened on January 30, 1955 in New York. Prior to that time there was no central authority to regulate, pro- mote, and preserve the game in the United States. Indeed, when the Laws of Tennis in America were first adopted on provides prize money for tournaments like the National New Year’s Day 1934, just three clubs – The Racquet & Open, the World Championship, the US Professional Sin- Tennis Club, The Racquet Club of Philadelphia, and The gles for the Schochet Cup and the Men’s and Ladies’ Tennis & Racquet Club – were signatories.

USCTA’s activities include establishing and administering the rules governing the game of court tennis, supporting clinics and special events, and selling merchandise for promotional activities.

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING: The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the cash basis of accounting.

INCOME TAXES: The Association is an organization which is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501 (c) (4) of the Internal Revenue Code.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION: For the financial statements, USCTA has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 117, “Financial Statements of Not-for-Profit Organization”. Under SFAS No. 117, USCTA is required to report information regarding its financial position and activities according to three classes of net assets: unre- stricted net assets, temporarily restricted net assets, and permanently restricted assets.

CONTRIBUTIONS: USCTA has also adopted SFAS No. 116, “Accounting for Contributions Received and Contributions Made”. Accordingly, any contributions received are recorded as unrestricted, temporarily restricted, or permanently restricted support depending on the existence and/or nature of any donor restrictions.

The US Father & Son was started in 1976, and Philadelphia hosted it each Christmas holiday. Until the 1990s it was the sole national tournament open specifically to juniors. In the 1970s and 80s Jimmy Dunn organized two afternoon junior clinics each year in Philadelphia, one during the Christmas holidays before the Father & Son and the other in the spring. After the clinics, he ran a one-day under eighteen year-old, intra-club junior tournament, the so- called Philadelphia Junior Singles. “It was pretty informal,” remembered Morris Clothier, “though you did get your name up on the wall in gold paint if you won. We were all pretty terrified of Jimmy.” 2009 Lieb Cup. photo by Jane Lippincott

In March 1956 Jimmy Van Alen also started an intercollegiate tournament, which in the 1960s was revamped as a team event and then revived as an in- dividual tourney again in the 1970s, but it quietly petered out after the 1987 edition. After Newport was renovated and reopened in 1980, Jack Slater, the president of the USCTA, pushed an effort to promote junior play at our country’s first public facility. To facilitate, Slater asked two former court tennis greats to help: A.B. Martin, the former US Tennis Association president, and Bill Clothier, a longtime lawn tennis ad-

One of the effects of the growth in junior tennis in the past two decades is the rise of a new generation of Amer- ican-born professionals. Three of the thirteen active US- based pros are products of the junior program: Gabe Kin- zler (Aiken), Camden Riviere (Boston) and Barney Tanfield (Philadelphia). (You could also include Josh Bainton, who was a pro at Newport and still coaches and plays in pro tournaments.) To have twenty percent of our professional positions filled by Americans who first learned the game as juniors is a remarkable fact. The junior program is now a hitherto unexplored method of developing American-born professionals. Previously we either hoped for an overseas pro to come over or for Jimmy Dunn to recruit another East Falls boy to work at the Racquet Club of Philadelphia.

After a short break for lunch, Hird and Cornwallis teamed up to play the #2 seeds — Amy Hayball and Ju- liette Lambert. Cornwallis and Hird won the match easily in straight sets. Cornwallis acknowledged that they could easily have hurt them because of her own lack of mobility. Cornwallis struggled in the backhand corner and was un- able to change direction. In the end, though, Cornwallis and Hird were simply the better team. Ana Radeljevic won the Singles Plate competition over Emily Boenning, 10/7. Jen and Beth Winthrop won the Doubles Plate over Caroline Lippincott and Petra Napoli- tano, 10/3. While Cornwallis and Hird were the top story, there
